Welcome to Light of the Harvest Moon! We are a Harvest Moon based RP forum set on Castanet Island. We have dozens of canon characters from all the games to pick from, but you can always make your own character as well. Feel free to look around our forums and see what insanity the members have been up too.

Slowly, the snow has melted away and the green grass has been poking it's way up. Flowers have begun blooming again, the trees are leafing, and the fish are swimming. However, the entire island is still not at ease. With the continued search for the missing Harvest Sprites, some of the villagers run around frantic worried about what will happen to the island if they don't find all of the sprites. Also, some villagers have noticed that the sea seems...different. Not as gentle as it used to be. However, not that many villagers are worried about it now though. Is it an omen of things to come?

What is your overall opinion of LoHM?Everytime I get on I have a squee fest. I'm staying here forever.

What are some things you like or love about the site?Oh I dunno. Only everything. The community, the colors, canons, OCs, settings, rules, etc.

What are some things you dislike or hate about the site?The fact thaaat...that...well, nothing. Haven't been here long enough to have anything to complain about.

What is your opinion of the staff? How are they doing?They must act quickly and collect the triforce before Ganon! D:

What are some things you would like to see the staff doing? (Can be more or less of)The macarena.And adding Gene's shop into the shopping district. No pressure. >>

What are your thoughts on our skins and themes?Subtle, neutral, adorable and tranquil. Like the Harvest Moon series. :D

How do you like our community? Do you feel welcomed?no you're all jerksI MEAN I LOVE THIS PLAAACE.

Honestly. The first day I joined I met a couple members via the cbox and we all chatted. It was a warm welcome and I was very impressed by the fact that the staff is just as friendly. Not to mention that once I posted a thread it was replied to within the day it was first posted. Wonderful. <3

What do you think makes LoHM stand out from other HM forums?I can't say, never been on any others...although. It's very well organized, sweetly decorated and no font is too light to read.

Do you feel you can come to any staff member with a concern or question?So long as it pertains to LOHM, yes. Otherwise no. xD;

How do you feel about our role playing?you suckIt's a wide variety, diversity is key! I love that everyone is literate, creative, and obviously uses spellcheck.

i #(%*ing love it. for a while, i've been looking for an hm rpg that i can stick to without getting tired of or feeling that it is somewhat "clique"-y, and i feel like this is the one <3

What are some things you like or love about the site?

one of the things that really made it for me is the members -- many times i've been on rps where everyone already formed these little "groups" of people they only rped with. i feel like everyone on lohm is really open and fun to talk to.

What are some things you dislike or hate about the site?

hmmm, honestly, i can't think of anything.

What is your opinion of the staff? How are they doing?

i think the staff is doing an awesome job -- i don't see any problems anywhere on the forum at all :] although i haven't actually talked to any other than minty and ivy.

What are some things you would like to see the staff doing? (Can be more or less of)

nothing comes to mind right now.

What are your thoughts on our skins and themes?

i freaking love this skin. like, LOVE. the colors are nice and soft and pastel and the banner (although not very hm-y at all) is really aesthetically appealing and fits with the layout.

How do you like our community? Do you feel welcomed?

yessss, the communal feeling here is what really drew me to the place when i first joined :] everyone is super awesome.

What do you think makes LoHM stand out from other HM forums?

hmmm, the canons, the relaxed atmosphere (some hm rps are very uptight about statistic-related things, i notice), the few non-human creatures also add some spice to the mix.

Do you feel you can come to any staff member with a concern or question?

yup! the staff is all very nice and open :]

How do you feel about our role playing?

everyone that i've rped with so far have had decent posting length (a few paragraphs) without dragging it out too long to the point where each post is like a friggin' wall, which i really like <3 the threads move at a nice, moderate pace which i appreciate in an rp.

What is your overall opinion of LoHM?it's a wonderful community. i honestly love this place a lot.

What are some things you like or love about the site?i love how it's such a friendly and welcoming community with so many dedicated members <3

What are some things you dislike or hate about the site?well, i think what issues i did have with have been solved. honestly, there weren't many.

What is your opinion of the staff? How are they doing?minty ily <3 i feel like you're doing a great job. ivy as well. i haven't seen cheshire, sophie, or bree around much so i'm not sure what's up with that but i think you guys are doing wonderful.

What are some things you would like to see the staff doing? (Can be more or less of)i think what you guys are doing right now is great. i can't think of anything else. except maybe you should give us more cookies :3

What are your thoughts on our skins and themes?i like the skins you guys choose! they always fit in with the current season. they're not too blinding and distracting either. er, the banner image right now says summer though which always throws me off.

How do you like our community? Do you feel welcomed?like i said earlier, this is a really friendly and welcoming community. everyone's really nice, and the cbox is always up and hopping too, which is nice.

What do you think makes LoHM stand out from other HM forums?i love the options of playing non human creatures and canon characters, even though... i don't play any >.> i also love how the site is big, but it still has the small community feel to it y'know?

Do you feel you can come to any staff member with a concern or question?yes, minty is always prompt with answering questions and she listens to concerns and suggestions which is awesome. i know i can go to the other staff as well because they're very approachable :3

How do you feel about our role playing?i love it. one has the option to post moderately long posts or short quickies which is great. i love the whole no word count thing. erm, i love how everyone is literate here and at least puts their posts through spell check. i also like how more experienced roleplayers take time to post with relatively new players. it's really nice <3

What is your overall opinion of LoHM?I've only really been on here for a short while, but I'm quite impressed with this Forum. The community is friendly, and it's well organised. It'd say, quite a good forum! 8D

What are some things you like or love about the site?The Members have to be one of my favourite aspects of this site. It's always friendly, and that's certainly a feature to be applauded. 8D

What are some things you dislike or hate about the site?Can't think of any, actually. :'D

What is your opinion of the staff? How are they doing?Friendly service, willing to help, and newbie-friendly. Again, certainly an applaudable effort. X3

What are some things you would like to see the staff doing? (Can be more or less of? I haven't really noticed any instances of the staff lacking in any fields. It probably sounds like I'm sucking up and kissing someone's boot here, but I'm not. XD

What are your thoughts on our skins and themes?Skins are pretty. <3I'm not too obsevant of these things, as long as it's functional, and I can read the font without too much difficulty. There aren't any particular impediments upon these things that I've noticed~

How do you like our community?Do you feel welcomed?Definantly! It's a wonderful community, and it's certainly easy to warm up to. <3

What do you think makes LoHM stand out from other HM forums?I haven't been on too many HM forums, only a few of them good. A lot of the one's I've visited have had either fairly poor Post Qualities, rude members, badly organised staff, all that kind of thing, as opposed to LoHM, which I'm quite impressed with regarding those areas, ;D

Do you feel you can come to any staff member with a concern or question?Yep. It's comforting to know I can ask a Staff Member to help and know that I'm talking to a responsible figure, rather than the Creator of the Site's five-year-old friend, which I have seen before.

How do you feel about our role playing?I haven't really done much yet, but from what I've read, it's fairly good quality. ;D

What is your overall opinion of LoHM?I like it as much as I like eating cocoa rice crispies. Which, therefore, means that I love it. The people, or the crispies, make up a wonderful community that taste are so lovely. Not to mention afterwards, instead of leaving a nasty cereal residue in the milk, it just changes to chocolate milk<3

What are some things you like or love about the site?The chat. Oooooh. It distracts us all, but it's just so fun talking to everyone who happens to be online.

What are some things you dislike or hate about the site?I hate the fact that it's not Sparkle Is Awesome everyday. It's a crime, really. D; Nothing.

What is your opinion of the staff? How are they doing?I LOVE YOU MINT. The only staff members that I talk to are Mint and Sophie, mainly because my timing to catch everyone else fails on epic proportions.

What are some things you would like to see the staff doing? (Can be more or less of)Nothing comes to mind. o-o

What are your thoughts on our skins and themes?To be honest, I haven't been around to see the previous ones. But this one is nice. Although, I've seen some other Harvest Moon forums use it, or something similar to it.

How do you like our community? Do you feel welcomed?Everyone's nice. Nice is good. Not in a fruity way, unless you happen to like that. ;D Uhm... I love Sophie and the Mintage?

What do you think makes LoHM stand out from other HM forums?The name. "Light of Harvest Moon" instead of just "Castanet Valley." The name "Light of Harvest Moon" makes me feel as if this place is MORE of a community, rather than a bunch of faceless people writing words to each other. Plus, the acronym is cool: LoHM. x]

Do you feel you can come to any staff member with a concern or question?Yes, I do.

How do you feel about our role playing?I like how everyone post lengths are different. It's not a set thing. I usually post at least 250-450 words, it's more of a habit. I won't post anything unless I can give the person something to go off of. I haven't been roleplaying like I should, though. BAD SPARKLE. I KNOW. >w<"
